Pre-Built Engines

[g11ary]

It does not say what you get but have just looked at the k/sport price list and £5500 you get there top of the range engine, they just call it super reinforced. But you must get some sort of warentee Miguel did, but its the hassel of if it goes wrong shipping it back and waiting for a replacement. Much much better off getting Carl or someone to build something nice and strong, and if it goes tits up its a short waiting period for the replacemet.

I agree, I dont think theres much wrong with engine building over here. If u buy from japan u still have to build up all the ancillaires and tune it. And send it back when u kill it any way

Besides, if we import engines UK engine building wont get any better

Think long term for Rotors

I think there is money in it as well Steve

OJ will always get stick, he encourages it

I think the "in stock" re-built engine is a fantastic idea ... there has to be money in it for someone ?

Doesn\'t Ross offer a weekend service?

Yup - but it\'s nothing to do with cars....

You could buy an engine from Oz.

One of the websites has a nice 20b with a triple turbo manifold (turbos not included) that has been proven to 1000bhp for a mere £7000 exc. shipping.

Bargain

Rooter Master or Mazfix?

Seem very cheap on all of their ready built engines as well. All the prices are in aussie dollars. Currently aus$ 2.6 to 1 pound

Yep, you can order one stand alone and just spec your power output (within reason) and it will probably be delivered to your door.

Here, it\'s not so bad I guess. But delivery fees would be thought the roof to anywhere else.

Of course, if you needed to learn how to do the porting yourself, go wait outside Amemiya and wait for Amemiya-san to walk outside with his die grinder and a hose. I am sure I have a pic of him doing ports in the street...

Having said all that, I have a mag that goes though most, if not all the engine builders here and what they do/how much it costs. Prices ranged from Y220,000-550,000 changeover plus large parts like rotors/housings. I\'ll bring it home if I remember and punch in some details.

When I get one, and the engine goes pop I\'ll prolly grab one from one of the cheaper places (I think RE-A was reasonabable :p) outright and keep the old one to rebuild myself.

Or...

Maybe I could find something interesting to do. Maybe a 20b or a Renesis...

I think the way to go is to develop the UK engine building scene, keep the money in this country, experiance will go up, turnarounds and volume better and the price will eventually go down.

Talking about Engines, Geoff has just finshed rebuilding mine
!!! WHOOHOO cant wait to pick it up, three months without my RX7 has done my head in, the delay caused with me scrimping and scraping the cash before I could afford to have it done.
But the saving will be worth it. hmmmm I need to start washing car windows at the traffic lights to pay for petrol now!!:rollin
